Access rights on splitting of a plot

[Guest]

Hi all, we’ve bought a house which is at the end of a lane, which we own. It is also a public footpath. A number of other houses have vehicular access rights Over the lane to access the rear of their house. One of the houses has a garden which is quite separate from their house (probably about a 90 second walk). They are looking to sell the plot and are trying to say that the newly created title number will benefit from the vehicular access right. Having checked the title deeds, the wording says that the access right attaches to the ‘private dwelling house known as 227 Annoyed Street’. Our contention is therefore that the plot does not have vehicular access in the event that it is no longer part of the title number that relates to that address. Firstly; does
anyone have any clue if my understanding is correct and secondly, how do I stop them selling it with having vehicular access and ending up with a massive dispute with the new owners (who will presumably look to build). Thanks in advance.

You should write (signed for) to the sellers of the plot, telling them that in your view the plot of land does not have a right of vehicular access.
If they are marketing the land through an agency, you could advise them likewise.
All in a spirit of understanding and helpfulness to avoid future problems for the seller.

Possibly, also on your lane, place a notice near the entrance of the plot stating the plot does not have a right of vehicular access.
